TX Shitbox Coupe

[Jonno]

Thanks man. I was going to text you on the weekend seeing as ur out of state at the moment.

Lol 500hp s*#t that's about 3 times the amount of power I think I'll need. I'll run on 98 for now as much as I'd like to run e85. I don't think the 550cc injectors will handle it well.

So noob fuel system question here. With the TG backing plate thingo. I could just run a fitting off the back of the line to a hose to the fuel pump? Can it literally just be swinging in the breeze or does it need some sort of way of securing it?

My TC coupe was only 5/16 inlet, 1/4 return and 5/16 vent line.
I have never seen a Gemini with 3/8 Bundy tube? Is tx different

[DR_GEM]

Apologies it's 5/16 yes - still good enough for 450hp

More than I'll needs. The 5/16 sounds right anyway.
I just need to get the hard line to tube adaptors and go from there.

[moley]

Ah cool, i was wondering if they were different. I think mine actually had 2 1/4 lines and a 5/16 line because I had to run two new 5/16 lines as well.
I never wanted as much power as he is going for but people talk you into things and it snowballs Jonno

[Jonno]

We had that with Amy's gemini originally lol.
If i go crazy I'll build the red gems motor. But i said that about it as well and it's still standard.

[Jonno]

So this happened.

Lucky you didn't scratch that beautiful paint...

[moley]

At least something is happening on this forum!

[Jonno]

I haven't had much of a go with the old thing of late.
Adam came over last Friday to fix the inlet for me. Did that. Willsy was down for the weekend so he took care of the rear guards so they scrub less now which is excellent.

The red car is in the road to get to work on the 2L. I'm hard pressed for money at the moment so buying things for it's hard..
I STILL need a clutch for it which means I need to get the flywheel machined. There was talk of running it carb for a bit so I can sort out the turbo stuff and just get it running but I don't really want to do that. I don't have the hat anymore either.
To go EFI I can do it cheap but I still gotta get the stuff off Mick.

Trying to sort the small gremlins on Amys Gemi to.

Was a good weekend anyway! We had a heap of Gemis on the skid pan.
Mine, Nicks, Rods Coupe, Amy's and Adam K had his panelvan out.

I can't work out how to embed this.

Multi-vid of a few laps in the bucket and then Jacob and Uhleys VP SS.

Amy's Gemi in the back ground

Painted cars are not too much of a headache, just means you need to wash it regularly. And not give yolo-zero-f&*ks for it. Although i admit the gravel road down the end of my estate has me wishing I had an unpainted Gemini to throw down it. You've also embedded it from half way brah, starts mid way through video with Uhleys car. f*#k that thing sounded epic.

Also. Send bobs and vangina. I mean, pictures of my car please. YOU ACTUALLY TOOK SOME THIS TIME.
